Endorse Mark D. Melville for San Mateo County Sheriff, the candidate with true integrity!

The issue: Sexual harassment is running rampant in the San Mateo County Sheriff's department, Carlos G. Bolanos has promoted perpetrators rather than holding them accountable. Electing a sheriff, like Mark Melville, who possesses true integrity as our highest ranking law enforcement official ensures that there is accountability.

Mark Melville is the #metoo candidate who wants to end Sex trafficking. His opponent Carlos Bolanos was detained in an FBI raid at a brothel with trafficked prostitutes- some of them minors.

San Mateo Daily Journal Quoted: "Anyone who believes that the decision to be at the location, albeit outside, is reason enough to not vote for Bolanos is justified. If anyone chooses not to believe Bolanos, they too are justified"

o Bolanos and Munks were cited by name in a 2008 report by Shared Hope International called "Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking- Las Vegas , funded by the United States Department of Justice, by Alexis Kennedy, PhD and Nicole Pucci, M.A

o Retaliation on fellow staff is an accepted practice including Deputy Lopez who was running for sheriff (and subsequently arrested at gun point, many charges have since been dropped) leaving concern that these practices could bleed into how community members are treated.

o Bolanos has focused on promotions of executive staff as opposed to addressing the critical shortages on patrol which is negatively impacting citizens
